The EMDR Institute Training (Weekend 1 and 2) is designed for licensed mental health practitioners who treat adults and children in a
clinical setting. The training meets the EMDR International Association’s (EMDRIA) requirements and includes lecture, live demonstrations, videotaped demonstrations and supervised practice.

EMDR is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to
disturbing events and present life conditions. This interactional, standardized approach has been empirically tested in over 20 randomized
controlled studies with trauma patients, and hundreds of published case reports evaluating a considerable range of presenting complaints,
including depression, anxiety, phobias, excessive grief, somatic conditions and addictions. EMDR is guided by the Adaptive Information
Processing model which addresses the unprocessed memories that appear to set the basis for a wide range of dysfunction. A number of
neurophysiological studies have documented the rapid post treatment EMDR effects.
